I had a beautiful day celebrating two of my nieces' birthdays today at a picnic/cookout by the river today.

Not sure whether to be happy that a thread I created did well with so many replies...or whether to be annoyed because a certain coli member acted like a straight bytch nikka trying to convince the coli that every black man's style is the result of Kanye West's dress code.

The reality is, I don't give a fukk.
Kanye West has never influenced a god damn thing I've ever worn. He's never mentioned a fashion line that I didn't know about or influence me to care about them. And literally nobody I know or have ever come across has been influenced or has based their style off Kanye West.

Is Kanye West a fashion icon? That was my question when I created this thread.

It appears to some people that he is. And that's wonderful for them. And wonderful for Kanye West. I sincerely mean that.

But he's not a fashion icon to me. And I really don't give two fukks to debate it.

What does "to you" mean?

Cause you don't follow what he does doesn't mean he hasn't influenced what you've been drawn to wearing or how you've selected your outfits.

Ye HAS affected the fashion landscape in serious ways.

You're saying he influenced shyt. But I literally don't know anybody who he has influenced.

APC? Givenchy? Man, I've heard of all these things from other people. Not Kanye.

Is he probably the most prominent black entertainer to TRY to break into high fashion? Yeah, I suppose.
But do people really follow Kanye for what he wears? I don't know anyone who does.

You seem to think that everyone does. Okay. So be it.

When Run DMC rocked Adidas...everyone rocked Adidas.
When LL Cool J rocked Kangol hats...everyone went out and rocked Kangol hats.
When Wu Tang had their clothing line and had baggy clothes and Timberlands...everybody dressed like that.

Call me out of touch if you want, but I literally don't know anyone who rocks clothes or a style because of Kanye West.
The most tied-to-Kanye West clothing anyone can even point to is the insanely overpriced white t-shirt.

But it is what it is.

You think he's an icon and I don't.
Disagreements happen.

shyt aint personal and it aint the end of the world.

False.

Its false because those brands weren't taken seriously for a long time until people like Ye elevated their brand profile.

A lot of the resurgence in these high fashion brands is BECAUSE of Kanye.

I know plenty of folks that follow Ye, and even further their style choices are influenced by shyt Ye introduced and promoted.

and well Ye came through with slimmer profiles, street wear, thin lapels suits, and these current futuristic designs, ya'll wanna pretend like he wasn't one of the first to elevate those profiles.

yo man..i can't beieve you're trying to put this shyt on kanye. I was living downtown in boston for a few years rocking new shyt around people rocking new shyt, they're in touch with nyc and whatnot...kanye can absolutely not be credited with having much of an influence on fashion at all



if anything...you're going to have to give some credit to rocky...yup:yeshrug:
